The document discusses various types of contract structures and payment methods for construction projects. It describes conventional/traditional contracts, turnkey contracts, design-build contracts, construction management contracts, and guaranteed maximum price contracts. It also covers lump sum, measurement, and cost reimbursement pricing approaches. Factors that influence contract selection include project complexity, schedule, client experience, regulations, risk allocation, and the nature of the project. The document emphasizes that properly structuring the contract and payment terms is important to allocate risk appropriately between the client and contractor.
Contracts provide a legally-enforceable framework for guiding any and every type of business relationship, from employment agreements to orders for parts and supplies. While these agreements are key to guiding business relationships and ventures across all sectors, getting contracts right is especially important within construction, where the ability to complete a build on time, on budget and to code hinges upon all vendor arrangements going as expected. From the builder’s perspective, contracts are also important for preventing scope creep and to reducing the risk of cost overruns they may unexpectedly have to absorb.
Construction management contracts encompass the work and/or materials required for a building project. Typically, they will address:
1)Project/deliverable specifications
2)Labor and material requirements
3)Timelines for completion/delivery
4)Compensation formula and amounts
While construction management agreements will typically include the above, they can be structured differently, with numerous types of contracts that are designed to best meet the needs of all parties under all sorts of different scenarios. Familiarizing yourself with the types of contracts that are typically in play within building projects is an important first step to optimizing all contract-related processes within construction management.
A brief introduction and overview of construction management and its application. A guidance for civil engineers teachers and students.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. TYPES OF CONTRACT STRUCTURE
• CONVENTIONAL / TRADITIONAL CONTRACT
• TURNKEY CONTRACT
• DESIGN AND BUILD CONTRACT
• CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT
CONTRACTING
• GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE
3. CONVENTIONAL/TRADITIONAL CONTRACT
• Major responsibilities to architect/engineer
• Client’s roles : Planning and designing phases of project,
monitoring and supervision by PM or independent consultant
• Contractor selected by tendering process
4. CONVENTIONAL/TRADITIONAL CONTRACT
• Under this contract, the design responsibility primarily falls on the
architect or engineer employed by the client and the contractor.
• In the Malaysian context, the client’s organisation usually does all the
planning and designing phases of a project. The construction phase of the
project is done by the contractor who is selected and appointed through
the tender process.
• The Client’s organisation may carry out monitoring and supervision of the
project through the appointed project manager or may engage an
independent consultant to carry out monitoring of the project.
5. TURNKEY CONTRACT
- Contractor employed by client shall take major responsibilities in
design, procurement, construction and commissioning of entire works
including the management of project.
- Also known as Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC).
Commonly adopted for the design and construction under Private
Finance Initiative.
- Similar to Design and Build
- Used for government big project and clients roles limited to
inspection, payment and performance target.
- In Malaysia, normally JKR will provide the standards guidelines for
writing the need statement, format, requirements for contractor’s
proposal , contract sum analysis and other related contractual terms
for turnkey project.
7. DESIGN AND BUILD CONTRACT
• Design and Build Contract similar to turnkey contract. Client
usually retain an agent (architect/engineer) who can monitor and
protect its interest.
8. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTING
• Under this contract structure, the subcontractors shall execute all the
construction works while the contractor is the one who manages the
entire project processes.
• Construction management – The subcontractors are contractually
responsible to the client and the project is usually manage by the
construction manager.
• Management contracting – The subcontractor is employed by the
management contractor. The success rely by the skills and experiences
of the personnel involved.
• Other features similar to D&B contract
13. GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE CONTRACT
• Combination of construction mgmt. and D&B contract.
• The contractor/construction manager agrees to perform work within a price
ceiling. Contractor guarantees a max price for the work to be completed
according to the design.
• Contractor responsible for the design and tendering phases.
• Contractor fees for overhead and profit are contractually decided and agreed
upon once appointed by client.
• The price will not change except there is authorised modification.
• If the ceiling is exceeded, without change in scope, then the excess cost is
borne by the contractor.
• If the work is accomplished under the ceiling then the owner pays no more than
the actual cost and the profit is shared between the contractor and the owner.
• This method gives greater flexibility to the owner.
14. FACTORS DETERMINING THE ADOPTION OF
CONTRACT STRUCTURE
• PROJECT COMPLEXITY
• SPEED OF THE PROJECT
• CLIENT’S EXPERIENCE
• CONTRACT SUBJECT TO LOCAL REGULATIONS
• LIKELIHOOD OF PROJECT CHANGES
• NATURE OF THE PROJECT
• ALLOCATION OF RISKS
15. 1. PROJECT COMPLEXITY
• The design of the building is complex and have high engineering content.
Complexity interrelated with issues such as expert and skills of consultant,
duration and cost of the project.
• More complex – more tedious – more difficult to handle the cost and longer
duration of project.
• For example, the lump-sum type of contract, is popular for the reason that the total cost
of the project is known in advance. But if the project is too complicated, it is not
possible to accurately determine the nature and quantity of the work prior to the start
of site activities, then lump sum type of contract pricing is not suitable.
16. 2. SPEED OF THE PROJECT (Start to
Completion)
• The need to complete the project on time or earlier is a crucial issue
for projects especially those involving high traffic congestion or for low
cost projects where timing and costing are major challenges.
• The right choice of contract structure is crucial to ensure the success
of the project.
17. 3. CLIENT’S EXPERIENCES
• The bigger or more experienced clients have their own preferred protocols which
involves specific choice of contract form. The credibility and commitment of the
client has always been an added value in project, thus client must be aware that
the contract structure has to fit well with the nature of project.
• For example, the client prefers competitive bidding to be able to compare and choose the most
suitable tender.
• The choice of contract form would therefore depend on the client’s experience.
18. 4. CONTRACT SUBJECT TO LOCAL
REGULATIONS
• For international projects, legal conditions must be synchronised, the
commercial terms must be agreed on and the risk must be apportioned.
• Project will involve various legal systems and global organisation has to
deal with different practices in different countries, thus project team
need to select the right strategy of contract structure for the global
project.
19. 5. LIKELIHOOD OF PROJECT CHANGES
• Some contractors/clients will allow the changes of the design when
construction stage start but some will not allow and every design must
follow the tender, and these two required different contract form.
• Each project is susceptible to change because of the complexities which
are unique to each project. The level of changes projection in a project
is to influence the type of contract structure selected.
20. 6. NATURE OF THE PROJECT
• Different types of project will affect the choice of contract form.
• For example, the project can be build a new building, extension of
building, renovation works, industrial building and more.
• Different projects have different requirements therefore required
different type of contract form.
21. 7. ALLOCATION OF RISK
• All sorts of risks arising from both the internal and external
environment of a project or organization and affecting the project
performance,
• In terms of successful delivery of project on of time, within budget
and of the specified performance.
• Important to know how much risk is shared in the project and how
much risk is allocated to the contractor and client.
22. CONTRACT PRICING
Contract Pricing consists of 3 types:
a.Lump Sum or Fixed Price
b.Re measurement or Bill of Quantities
c.Cost Reimbursement
- Possible to combine more than 1 type of pricing within a project.
- Pricing depend on information given to the contractor during tendering
phase, the level of risk involved and the conditions under which the
work will be carried out.
- The nature of contract structure also plays important role in
determining the pricing basis.
23. LUMP SUM , MEASUREMENT & COST
REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT
• Lump sum contracts — where the contract sum is
determined before construction work is started.
• Measurement contracts — where the contract sum is
assessed on re-measurement to a previously agreed
basis.
• Cost reimbursement contracts — where the contract sum
is set based on the prime costs (of labour, plant and
materials) plus an agreed amount for overheads and
profit.
24. LUMP SUM BASIS (FIXED PRICE CONTRACT)
• Client-contractor agree on a price for the proposed work. Price remains
fixed unless both agree to any changes.
• Less risks to client (buyer) as they will no pay any extra cost incurred.
Contractor (seller) has to be very accurate in computing the cost
estimates and to include sufficient contingency cost. Bigger risk is borne
by contractor.
• Suit to low risk and well defined projects.
• High commitment needed in advance and reduces the amount of
administrative work after contract is in effect.
26. REMEASUREMENT / BILL OF QUANTITIES
• Work is measured and costed as it is performed in accordance with a priced
bill of quantities agreed between parties. 2 types of BQ used :
i. BQ for Building Contract
- Contract is segregated in accordance to the quantity of work described in BQ.
- Usually the quantity of work of this nature is an accurate estimation of the
actual work done unless the approximate estimation of the quantity of work
is of concerned.
ii. BQ for Civil Engineering Contract
- The price usually based on the approximate estimation of the quantity of
work to be performed; no lump sum amount is stated as the measurement is
to be determined accurately by the work done.
- The valuation of work shall be represented by the rates given in the BQ.
29. COST REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT
• Most convenient basis of contract pricing if inadequate designs/drawings or
definite specifications.
• Contractor/subcontractors supply all resources as and when required, and
shall invoice the client at cost plus an agreed percentage to cover
overheads and profit.
• 2 main components:
i. A fee component which covers design costs, site and project management
costs, overheads and profits and;
ii.A prime cost component which covers equipment, materials,
consumables, plant, site labour, subcontracts and site establishment.
32. COST REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT
• This type of contract pricing is of high risk to the client if the
contracting job costs overrun from the proposed price.
• Thus, in cost reimbursement pricing, the client usually requires
the contractor to regularly compare the actual expenditures with
the proposed budget, re-forecast costs at completion and
compare those against the original proposed price.
33. COST REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACTS
• There are three kinds of cost-reimbursable contracts:
1.Cost plus fee (CPF) or cost plus percentage of cost (CPPC)
2.Cost plus fixed fee (CPFF)
3.Cost plus incentive fee (CPIF)
34.
35. • Here the seller is reimbursed for allowable costs plus a fee
that’s calculated as a percentage of costs.
• Obviously, there is no incentive for the seller to complete the
work quickly with this type of contract.
Cost plus percentage fee (CPF)
36. Cost plus fixed fee (CPFF)
• Here all allowable expenses are charged back plus a fixed fee at
the end of the contract.
• The fixed fee is how the seller makes their profit.
• The aim of the fixed fee is to encourage the seller to complete
the work as quickly as possible.
37. Cost plus incentive fee (CPIF)
• Here all allowable expenses are charged back and in addition an
incentive fee for exceeding the performance criteria specified in
the contract.
• The incentive fee is designed to encourage increased cost
performance by the seller. There is the potential of both buyer and
seller saving if the performance criteria is exceeded.
38. TERMS OF PAYMENT
• The best benefit to offer the tenderers who bid for the project is a term of
payment that is able to achieve both the commercial and technical results while
still able to provide the client with reasonable contractual safeguards. The
approach provides numerous benefits to the client such as :
a. Able to offer the project not to only to larger firm whose overheads and prices
are likely to be higher but also to the smaller but competent companies as well;
b.Tenderers who bid the project do not have to inflate their tender prices due to
financing charges as a result of having to pay the interest from having to take out
a loan for the project;
c.Enable the companies who possess technical expertise but lack liquid cash to also
bid along with other companies
d.Minimise the risk of having to straddle with the contractor who has insufficient
cash to carry out the project to completion phase and will save both parties
from terminating the contract before the project is completed.
39. TERMS OF PAYMENT
• In addition , not all payments can be tendered for lump sum basis due to prevalent
uncertainties especially when assessing the quantity of work that needs to have the
approximate valuation in their bill of quantities. It is more reasonable to pay them
on monthly basis for the value of work that already has been completed. It is also
good practice to tie the payment with the completion of certain milestones which
can be identified from the work program.
• However, to offer the terms of payment of such kind will also bring few
disadvantages to the client such as :
a.Client has to finance the work in progress which in a way might hold up their capital
for the respective short-term period;
b.Paying by term might encourage incompetent small contractors who do not possess
technical competencies to undertake the work that offers low price;
c.Monthly payment especially under remeasurement contract may have the tendency
to be over-measured during the early months of the contract.
40. DELAY IN PAYMENT
• Delay payment = breach of contract
• Payment period stipulated clearly in the contract
• Specified period of payment = ( from the issuance of certificate from the
architect/engineer) (from the invoice submitted by contractor depending on the
context of the contract)
• Contract imposes interests on delayed payments.
• Payment delay after the stipulated period, contractor have rights to suspend
work/ even terminate the contract (under The Construction Industry Act)
• If not mentioned in contact, – generally, imposed 8% interest above base rate
under the Late Payment of Commercial Debt Act under UK law.
41. ADVANCE PAYMENT, PROGRESS PAYMENT AND
RETENTION MONEY
ADVANCE PAYMENT
-In general, payment cannot be made in advance
- but the practice is in the form of various types of bond
PROGRESS PAYMENTS DURING MANUFACTURE
- Stated in the contract that the plant, in accordance to the payments made, will
become the property of the purchaser accordingly.
- The manufacturer shall bear the risk up to completion phase and has been approved
and accepted by the purchaser.
RETENTION MONEY
- Under contract, client withhold 10%-20% from the contract price until work fully
completed and accepted by purchaser.
- Will be released in portion during defect liability period as security .
